Happy 8 Months Birthday!





today you celebrated by teething some more! i'm hoping the little sucker comes through today, because it's been a hard couple days for you. you're in pretty good spirits, despite the mouth pain. tylenol helps!

this past month you've been doing all sorts of new things and making new noises and making and unmaking new routines. i blame the teeth for the sleepness nights and hope they become restful soon.

you are still leary of strangers, but you don't usually scream at people like you did when you first entered your stranger danger phase. now, you pretty much just stare at everyone. daddy says that will be creepy if you're still doing it when you're 18.

here are some pictures of you from today, playing in a tub that we bought to pack up some of your too-small clothes. if i'd known you'd like that thing so much, i wouldn't have bought the exersaucer. remember the duck that bit you long ago and made you sad and tired? you got revenge. he squeaked in protest as you bit his mouth and back and poked his eyes. i bet he'll be glad when you're done teething, too.



love, mom

p.s. here's an update about the tub: as i was typing this letter, you pulled yourself up and were clinging to the side of it. you've stood by yourself while holding onto something before today, but you've never pulled up by yourself until just now. big girl!
